Terminating fractions create a digital equivalent of fixed length (e.g. 1/4 = exactly 0.25). Non-terminating (repeating) fractions create a repeating decimal after a certain number of places, and do not have an exact digital equivalent (e.g. 1/3 = 1.333_).
(This occurs as a result of conversion to base-10 numbers.)
